Is Legilimency considered a dark art?

Forum page

I was just wondering, should we consider Legilimency a dark art? The fact that it involves entering one's mind in order to see one's thoughts, feelings, and emotions against their will seems pretty dark to me. Not to mention that the books seem to describe a full legilimency assault to be an unpleasant experience. Furthermore other than Dumbledore and the Sorting Hat (both who seem to be using a more gentle form) all practitioners are dark wizards and witches.You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
